Stove-Pipe Bread

3 1/2 C. sifted all-purpose flour

1 package active dry yeast

1/2 C. milk

1/2 C. water

1/4 C. sugar

1/2 C. oil

1 t. salt

2 eggs

Place 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a large bowl. Add yeast and blend. Combine milk, water, sugar, oil and salt in small pan. Heat until mixture is just warm. Add to flour and yeast and beat until smooth. Add eggs and beat until well-blended.

Gradually add 1 cup of the remaining flour and beat until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour with a spoon to form a soft dough.

Spoon batter into two clean, well-greased 1-pound coffee cans. Cover with plastic lids and let rise until dough is almost to top.

Remove lids and bake in 375°F. oven for 30-35 minutes. Let cool in can 10 minutes before removing.
